HIS VISION
-- OUR MISSION
GO -- Make Disciples
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. -- Mathew 24:14
Two thousand years ago on a hillside by the Sea of Galilee Jesus was explaining the kingdom of Heaven to a group of 5,000 men plus women and children. They couldn’t get enough, so they stayed and stayed to hear more. Finally, the disciples said, “Send them home because they are hungry.” But Jesus’ reply was, “Don’t send them home; you feed them.”
The disciples couldn’t figure how that could be done. So Jesus asked them to bring Him what they had. A boy’s lunch consisting of five barley loaves and two small fish was all they could find.
You know the story; Jesus took that small amount and fed the entire group, with lots left over – a true miracle.
Have you ever encountered someone in need and had the desire to give them spiritual food, but felt that you had only “five loaves and two fish”?
It’s encouraging to realize that, although Jesus could have created a meal out of nothing, He asked them for what they already had and then multiplied it greatly. Notice also that Jesus first called upon his disciples to feed the multitude. For months they had personally witness Him performing mighty miracles, the likes of which had never been seen. Blind given sight, lame made whole, the dead raised to life – all of these wonderful works provided evidence that they were in the presence of divine power. Now was their opportunity to exercise faith in what could be done when working closely with Jesus. Paul must have has this in mind when he said, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
Just as the disciples were invited to join their Master in ministry, God offers us the privilege of fellowship with Christ in Service. As we work closely with heaven in Evangelism we receive training that imparts a fitness for participation with Him in glory.

WELCOME -- Jesus promised, “I will come again,” and our Worship Celebration becomes a response to that divine assurance. This morning we worship Him because He is our Creator, because He is our Saviour, and because He is our soon to come King.
We extend a happy Sabbath welcome to every worshipper. To our visiting friends and guests, we would like to add a warm invitation to return often and worship with us.
WORSHIP IN STEWARDSHIP of Tithes and Offerings. Our offering today is for the Holly Church Combined Budget.
The Church can never complete her task if we remain only in the ‘kindergarten of stewardship’. Not only our tithe and our offerings, but our total life must be surrendered and consecrated for service.
